HOLLYWOOD SPY EXCLUSIVE REPORT FROM LAVISH ROYAL WEDDING OF SWEDEN'S YOUNGEST PRINCESS MADELEINE! THE GLAMOROUS GOWNS AND ROYAL GUESTS!

Continuing our highly popular series of royal reports from the weddings of crowned heads around Europe, after London, Monaco, Jordan, Luxembourg and the royal Dutch crowning, we move up North to Sweden where earlier this weekend a lavish wedding of the nation's beloved princess Madeleine was held. The younger sister of Swedish Crown Princess Victoria got married to New York banker Christopher O'Neill, following her sister's footsteps who, few years ago, chose to marry a fitness instructor and not a prince of blue blood.

  THE ROYAL WEDDING
 FILLED WITH EMOTIONS
It was quite an emotional wedding this wedding in Swedish capitol Stockholm, since both the bride (30) and the groom (38) were fighting back the tears in their eyes when stunning princess Madeleine (she is considered one of the most beautiful princesses in the world, although I must admit I myself loved her much better while she had golden hair) walked down the aisle with her father Swedish king Carl XVI Gustav to the sound of a children choir who sang the wedding  march. After the ceremony they kissed at the stairs of the royal Drottningholm palace in front of  thousands of people in the cheering crowd and almost 500 royal guests from around the world.

  THE ROYAL GOWN
SILK BY VALENTINO
For her royal wedding dress, Madeleine has opted for a luxurious silk organza and lace pure white gown from famous Italian designer Valentino (if you ask me he is never good in this royal business since he tends to dress the future queens and princesses in overly old fashioned dresses) with a four meter long trail!

  THE ROYAL PRINCESS
 EXTRAVAGANT AND STYLISH
The extremely stylish princess Madeleine, who always attracted looks with her enchanting beauty and her merry behaviour, is the youngest daughter of Swedish king and queen and fourth in line to the throne. Because of her extravagant behaviour, the people in Sweden themselves have always preferred her older and calmer sister Victoria, the future queen of Sweden! After breaking her engagement to her previous boyfriend, Madeleine fled to New York where she met O'Neill, who isn't from a royal family but does come from a very rich one. Since he has both British and American citizenship he has refused the Swedish one, along with any title, and he and Madeleine will live over in Manhattan.

  THE ROYAL GUESTS
 POSH FASHION & ROYAL BABIES
As you can see from the pictures, the event had a smaller number of royal family members than some other weddings we've seen but most of the princes and princesses have appeared in outfits more glamorous and modern than we've seen at other recent royal events. Crown princess Victoria was particularly stunning in her greyish beige gown with a red carpet trail and her baby, little princess Estelle, in her arms. Princess Charlene of Monaco was also lovely, and so was the delightful  princess Stephanie whose wedding to charming prince Guillaime of Luxembourg we still remember fondly. Check out the rest of the royal gowns and guests in the pictures in today's royal spotlight!

  1. THAT was a very stylish wedding. I knew you'd give us the fashion highlights. And isn't that purple gown of Princess Anna beautiful!

    1. Anna and her hubs Manuel of Bavaria (not sure but I think he is the son or the nephew of the Grand Duke of Bavaria) are such an adorable couple, and would you believe he is 41 and she is close his age?

  2. You know the more I look at Princess Madeleine gown, the more I appreciate its simple yet classic style ~ I saw the videos and I was touched by Chris emotional response while waiting for the doors to open (Which reminds me of Prince Frederick's teary eyes while waiting for Mary) ~ He came across as very charming and affectionate when he was kissing her during/after the church wedding ~

    I love looking at all the lovely gowns & colors - Tatiana, Anna are my top choices ~

    1. I still don't like Valentino's work and I don't like it how he didn't even fit the dress to her body and shoulders :(
      Chris was very emotional :) I was reminded of the cute moments at Guillaume's and Stephanie's wedding in Luxembourg last October since their love seems really genuine.
      Speaking of Mary of Danmark, I don't know what's happening with her. On last two big occasions (coronation of Willem of Netherlands and this wedding) she looked atrociously dressed. She is othervise my fave.

    2. I don't like Mary's outfit as well ~ Maybe she is busy with the children and had no time to find a suitable gown ~ She always struck me as an elegant woman ~

      I haven't seen the video of Guillaume & Stephanie but they do seem very much in love. I wonder if she is pregnant as her dress seems not so fitted.

      I also saw the pageboys and flowers girls, so cute ~ Good for Madeleine not to have bridesmaids (following her mom and sis) ~

    3. She was always gorgeous before, but lately she lost her style :( I need to offer my services to her :)
      You have the link in the post for Luxembourg wedding, you can find the pictures in which they look upon eachother with much tenderness and love.

    1. them two ladies looked stunning. I love it how Vics is turning into a royal style queen :) especially since in ten years or so she will be the new queen of Sweden :) British royals are 100% trashy and have no style, so it's refreshing seeing other European royals aren't :)

  4. I watched the highlights of the wedding on TV last night. What a stunning couple!

    A most elegant affair if ever there was one!

    1. Click on the red links in the post to read about all of the weddings :) This is one of the last ones since we married off most of the young crown heads. Only Madeleine's brother remains along with Harry of Britain and possibly some Belgium princes.

    2. I've got blue blood in my veins (no joke) and I hate it. Now I can't have sex.
